DC Comics Novels - Batman: The Killing Joke by Gary Phillips, Christa Faust
3.0
I enjoyed this book. It was an ok read.
This follows Batman as he and Commissioner James Gordon go to talk to the Joker but find out that he has once again escaped Arkham Asylum. They are also dealing with a new drug as well. Batman and Batgirl are trying to take down Maxie Zeus who is trying to take over Gotham by trying to be like Zeus and all of this somehow connects to this new drug as well. This also connects with how the Joker escapes Arkham Asylum to hurt Barbara and James.
I really liked the graphic novel that this book is based on. I liked how they did the story.
I really enjoyed all that happened and the characters a lot.
The main problem I had with this was that sometimes I had to reread some of what I just read to understand what was going on. There were somethings that I had to read again before I fully understood where the point of where I was in the story.
I did like what these authors added and how this new drug , the giggle sniff, connected to the Joker Venom.
I liked how they did get the Joker out of Arkham, it was interesting.
Overall it was just an ok read for me.
